Pro 780
The LCD display on my Pro780 is constantly pestering me to clean my grill, clean the grease trap, "fire pits don't clean themselves", etc.

These messages still appear even after I clean my grill.

Are these messages just pro forma pestering by Traeger? Or are they supposed to clear automatically or manually after I clean the grill? Am I missing something? Is there a sensor not working, or am I supposed to reset something when I clean my grill?
 
There is a setting in the menu for notifications and then select clear messages
You need to select that to clear that message
 
I cleared mine a half dozen times in the grill settings, and it kept coming right back.
If you clear it, and it comes right back, try this.......
The way I finally got it to stay cleared was to clear notifications in grill settings, and then fire up the grill, and let it pre-heat to selected temp. If you Google it, you will see that others have had the same problem, and this was the recommended “fix”.

well I don't clear any message till I'm about to cook anyway, so I guess I'm following the method.

These messages are timed anyway, after so many hours you get the grease trap one, and so on...
No matter how clean you keep everything you will still get the messages after a certain time.

Basically, I don't even SEE the messages till I go to cook and it shows up, clear it and cook.... The End

On that note, has anyone else gotten the message "Why aren't you using Traeger Pellets"

How would you like to be sitting on the couch and hear Alexa, "Joe, the Traeger tells me you aren't using their pellets, shall I void your warranty?"
 
Alexa, tell Traeger to KISS MY .....
 
"Hey Joe, where you goin with that gun in your hand"
 
" NO JOE, I understand your frustration! Can we just talk about it!"
